Replacing Power Steering Lines.

[John Oliver]

Does anyone have a write up Or can you explain to Me how to replace the Power steering Lines, Both the High Pressure and low pressure lines?

[tblake]

Use quality ones. (I learned the hard way)

Its going to be hard to get them disconnected from the rack and pinion. Either you will have to lower the back subframe a bit, or else find a way to get a wrench on them whether it be a stubby wrench or a crows foot.

Wouldn't it be easier to use a line wrench to get the high pressure line off.

Drop the subframe, faster & easier.

Its such tight corners in there. He might be able to snake one in there. They are 18mm if I remember right.

If you use the proper tools similar to transmission line wrenches it will make the job easier. To start it would help to safely jack it up and remove the passenger wheel. And there is no need to drop the subframe to replace both P.S. pressure and return lines.


Also, what year and model Grand Prix is this to include engine size?
